I second that, but the thing I miss in all the latter albums is the spontaneous, youthful ferocity so ambundant in MAYH for example, the "we don't give a fuck" attitude that perhaps comes along with youth and (relative) anonimity... Not that I don't enjoy BWP, it's a masterpiece...One of the most focused and concise albums

its amazing how well this board got along back in 2001.
I think that BWP and GR are the best albums and Bleak is the best song ever written in music history.
I absolutely love the first 3 songs and last song on BWP, but I always skip tracks 5-7. 1 of 2 albums I skip tracks on along with GR. For that I rank it pretty low among Opeth albums, even though Blackwater Park the song is probably my favorite of theirs. I still love the album though.
